Published: May 2003

We recorded the auditory evoked magnetic fields from children with and without absolute pitch under the following conditions: (a) hearing 1000 Hz pure tones inattentively, (b) hearing eight random tones inattentively and (c) listening to eight random tones and identifying each tone. We calculated the appearance rate of N100m as the ratio of the subjects who had N100m. There was a significant positive correlation between the appearance rate of N100m and age in both groups. There was also a significant positive correlation between the appearance rate of N100m and the kinds of the task only in children without absolute pitch. These results suggest that, in the children with absolute pitch, N100m was elicited equally in every session because of their automatically driven auditory attention. No significant correlation was found between the appearance rate of N100m and the possession of absolute pitch.

This study delves into how various musical factors influence the experience of auditory illusions, building on Diana Deutsch's scale illusion experiments and subsequent studies. Exploring the interaction between scale mode and timbre, this study assesses their influence on auditory misperceptions, while also considering the impact of an individual's musical training and ability to discern absolute pitch. Participants were divided into nonmusicians, musicians with absolute pitch, and musicians with relative pitch, and were exposed to stimuli modified across three scale modes (tonal, dissonant, atonal) and two timbres (same, different).

Automatic Reproduction of Natural Head Position in Orthognathic Surgery Using a Geometric Deep Learning Network.

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Applied Bioengineering, Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea.

: Accurate determination of the natural head position (NHP) is essential in orthognathic surgery for optimal surgical planning and improved patient outcomes. However, traditional methods encounter reproducibility issues and rely on external devices or patient cooperation, potentially leading to inaccuracies in the surgical plan. : To address these limitations, we developed a geometric deep learning network (NHP-Net) to automatically reproduce NHP from CT scans.

Estimating the Tinnitus Spectrum: A Comparison Between At-Home and Laboratory Measurements.

Am J Audiol

January 2025

Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide proof of concept for at-home measurements of the tinnitus spectrum.

Method: Nineteen participants completed pitch similarity ratings in the laboratory and at home. All participants first completed laboratory tests (at 500-16000 Hz) and then later completed at-home tests (at 250-8000 Hz) using their own personal computers and headphones.

Unraveling the associations between voice pitch and major depressive disorder: a multisite genetic study.

Mol Psychiatry

December 2024

Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, Brain Research Institute, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) often goes undiagnosed due to the absence of clear biomarkers. We sought to identify voice biomarkers for MDD and separate biomarkers indicative of MDD predisposition from biomarkers reflecting current depressive symptoms. Using a two-stage meta-analytic design to remove confounds, we tested the association between features representing vocal pitch and MDD in a multisite case-control cohort study of Chinese women with recurrent depression.
